How long have you owned your e30 for?
I have had my cab for 10 years now,and still love it.

They don't make bm's like this anymore!..They should.

Six years, nine months, three weeks. It's done 91k in that time. 
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

had my current one five and a half years and it runs even better than it did then with only 64k on it now 110k. I have run e30's since 1997 but fuel prices might finally put paid to that in the next couple of years.

Owned my current e30 for about 6-7 months, done a fair bit to her in this time. She is 21 yrs old and I'd be more than willing to own her when she reaches 31yrs old! I absolutly love it.
I've had 2 other e30's over the years aswel
